Maryland City Considers Online Voting

But before anything is decided, a system test will be conducted on June 9 where voters will be asked to pick their favorite Beatle and their favorite poet. For voters who are stressed about this difficult decision, rest assured that refreshments will be served. Here’s how the system would work:

Voters would be mailed an envelope that contained, wait for it…more envelopes!

One (sealed) envelope would contain an absentee paper ballot.

The second unsealed outer envelope would be used to return the ballot to the city and would contain a third unsealed inner envelope.

The third inner envelope would have scratch-off codes that give the voter the option of casting their ballot online.
